Conditions in the Shipping Forecast Sea Area of Rockall are sometimes benign, as above, but you can't count on them. You can count on looking at many current and prospective aspects through the GFS Weather Charts that come via netweather.tv. Go to the 'Select chart type' button and in the drop-down menu click onto 'sea level pressure'. The numbers in the boxes above it refer to the hours ahead. Mission Rockall 2011 will during the next five weeks be hoping for high pressure, with the isobars well spaced.
